- From Balohan to Gapang

In
Balohan on Pulau Weh there will be mini busses waiting for public
transport to the town Sabang (around Rp 20.000), from where you can
look for some local transport to the beaches. There are not enough
regular schedules to the beaches though (best before noon), so expect
you'll need a taxi or a chartered minibus, especially after arriving
with the afternoon ferry. Taxi's on the island are fairly expensive,
count on around 150.000 to 200.000 for a taxi from the harbour straight
to Gapang Beach, or around Rp 50.000 per person in a minibus, for the
one hour scenic trip around bays and over steep hills with prime forest
and many monkeys
